Daqin: White porridge and pickled mustard tuber, I became the national teacher

Chapter 231 Boiling corn in Xianyang Palace.

Qi Pan shook his head, "No, just take a look once in a while."

She still has a lot of things to do, how can she live in seclusion in this inn peacefully?

God sent her to the Great Qin, but it was not for her to enjoy herself.

Qi Pan looked at the corn on the table and said, "Brother, let's go back."

Ok?

Are you going back now?

You just came for a while and you’re leaving already?

Ying Zheng: "Sir, won't you stay a little longer?"

"No."

Qi Pan shook his head, "There are still many things to do, I don't want to waste time."

"Originally I was thinking of coming here to look at the corn and spend the whole day relaxing."

“But I suddenly felt a sense of urgency in my heart.”

"I feel like I still have a lot of things to do and I can't waste any more time."

"Brother, let's go back to Xianyang."

Hearing Qi Pan's words, Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go now."

He stood up and said to Eleven, "Put away the corn and take it with you."

Eleven: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Eleven immediately stepped forward, gathered the corn and put it on his back.

Watching Qi Pan, Ying Zheng and others walking outside.

Twelve was dumbfounded.

No.

His Majesty.

Mr.

What should I do after you leave?

Before getting on the carriage, Qi Pan suddenly turned around and looked at Twelve who was standing not far away.

Seeing Qi Pan's eyes, Twelve immediately stepped forward.

"gentlemen?"

what happened?

Sir, did you remember him and want to take him back with you?

Qi Pan said, "Twelve, thank you for taking care of the corn for a while longer."

"Next time we come, we'll collect the corn and take you back with us."

Twelve looked aggrieved and looked at Qi Pan with his eyes open.

"Yes, sir, I understand. I will take good care of the corn."

Woo woo woo.

The gentleman has left me behind again.

So sad.

Looking for someone to fight.

After Qi Pan and Ying Zheng got on the carriage, Xia Lin quickly sat at the door of the carriage.

The Black Ice Guard drove the carriage out of the mountains.

Eleven sat on the horse and looked at Twelve who was standing there.

After thinking about it, I comforted her.

"It's okay, we'll be back in a few days."

"When the time comes, I'll harvest the corn and take you back to Xianyang."

Twelve looked at Eleven eagerly, then looked at the carriage that was going away.

"I understand. You protect the gentleman well. I will wait for you to come back."

"drive."

Eleven rode his horse quickly to catch up with the carriage.

Watching the group walking further and further away, Twelve turned around and spoke to another Black Ice Guard next to him.

"Come on, let's have a fight?"

The Black Ice Guard looked at Twelve in silence.

Twelve: "No, tell me whether I want to hit you or not."

Black Ice Guard: “………”

Seeing him like this, Twelve scratched his head anxiously.

“Ahhhhh! I’m so annoyed!!!”

"Whether to fight or not, just say something!"

"If it doesn't work, you can just squeak!"

Black Ice Guard: "Squeak."

Twelve: "Aa ...

How could he have such a brother? !

He's going to suffocate to death!!

Twelve was so angry that he stamped his feet, picked up a hoe and opened up a piece of land next to the cornfield.

..........

After returning to the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng looked at the corns he brought back and gave instructions to Xia Lin who was standing beside him.

Several important officials in the court were announced.

He also ordered the kitchen to send over a steamer and charcoal fire.

Placed in the main hall.

Ying Zheng and Qi Pan sat around the steamer.

This is what Feng Quji saw when he arrived.

He walked forward puzzledly and saluted.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Master."

Ying Zheng: "Well, Feng Qing, you are here, please sit down."

Feng Quji sat down next to Ying Zheng, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng pointed to the corn still with leaves placed aside.

"This is the corn that the Imperial Master and I just brought back from the inn."

"I'll cook it later and let's try it."

Oh?

corn?

Or did you bring it back from the inn?

Feng Quji: "Is the corn planted at the inn ripe?"

Qi Pan said, "It's ripe and can be eaten, but it can still grow longer."

"Break off a few and taste them first."

Just then, Wang Wan and several other ministers also arrived.

Ying Zheng: "Come, everyone, sit down."

Wang Wan, the minister: "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Several people sat around the steamer.

Qi Pan left a corn out, then took it and started peeling off the leaves.

"When steaming corn, you need to remove the outer layers of leaves."

"You can leave one or two layers at the innermost part, or you can leave none at all."

"Then put it in a pot and steam it or boil it in water."

Feng Quji, Wang Wan, and the ministers: "Oh, so that's how it is."

“This corn has so many layers of leaves?”

"Oh, it's still green and fresh."

"Yes, smell it, this leaf has a fragrance."

Ying Zheng took a corn and peeled off the leaves.

Qipan: "You can boil corn leaves and corn silk into water to drink."

"It is a diuretic, reduces swelling and removes dampness."

"Add some sugar and it will taste much better."

Ministers including Feng Quji and Wang Wan, who were studying a few leaves, said: "Oh?"

"Can the leaves and whiskers be boiled into water for drinking?"

"Diuretic and detumescent? Eliminate dampness? It actually has so many other effects?"

"Yes, it's amazing."

"A small corn plant can not only be used as food, but also as medicine."

"It's really useful."

Seeing their surprised expressions, Qi Pan explained the benefits and functions of corn in detail again.

Everyone was amazed.

"Huh?"

"Can these corn cobs, corn stalks, and corn leaves be dried and used as firewood?"

"This whole body is full of treasures."

"I don't know what the yield will be when the corn is harvested in a few days."

"No matter how much there is, it far exceeds our current food production."

Amid the discussion among the crowd, Qi Pan put the corn into the pot.

Add water.

Put it on the charcoal brazier and burn it.

The fire in the charcoal brazier is very strong.

Soon steam came out of the pot.

It rolled over and over with a gurgling sound.

As the heat rises, a unique fragrance of corn wafts out of the pot.

Ying Zheng sniffed it gently, "Master, this fragrance is really special."

“It smells sweet and delicious.”

Qipan: "It tastes delicious."

"Try it when it's cooked."

Ying Zheng: "Okay."

Feng Quji, Wang Wan and others also stared at the pot curiously.

Although they had heard Qi Pan talk about this corn a long time ago.

Some of them had been to the inn and had seen the corn growing.

It’s edible, but I’ve never eaten it before.

If it weren't for Qi Pan, they would never have even seen him.

I don’t know when it’s cooked. Will I have a chance to taste it?

Even a small bite will do.

But this corn is so precious, it would be a pity if we let them eat it.

It would be great to be able to see it up close and smell it.

I don’t dare to ask for anything else.

As the aroma from the pot became stronger, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Qi Pan lifted the lid of the pot and looked inside.

After confirming that it is cooked, move the pot aside.

After waiting for a while, he took out the cooked corn on a plate.
